How To Make Turkey Breast In Ninja Speedi

Now that your ingredients are prepped and ready, it’s time to unleash the Speedi’s power! Buckle up for a quick and flavor-packed journey. Choose your preferred cooking method – “Steam & Crisp” for a golden, crispy skin or “Air Crisp” for tender, juicy perfection. With just a few simple steps, you’ll be savoring a delicious turkey breast in no time.

Begin by patting your turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub it with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning for that classic Thanksgiving flavor.

If your turkey breast comes with skin, get some of the seasoning underneath the skin.

Place the grill plate according to the Ninja Speedi directions. Add the 2 seasoned turkey tenderloins and the tin foil package of asparagus/green beans on top.

Turn the setting to Rapid Cook, set the cooking temperature to 390 degrees F, and set the cook time for 15 minutes. Remove the turkey tenderloin when the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F, using a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the turkey cutlet.

Carve the turkey breast and serve it alongside your favorite side dishes.

Recipe Variations

Spicy Fiesta: Swap regular seasoning for chili powder, smoked paprika, and cumin. Add chopped jalapenos and cilantro for a kick.
Lemon Herb Delight: Infuse olive oil with fresh rosemary and thyme. Drizzle over turkey and add lemon slices to the pot for a bright, citrusy flavor.
Asian-Inspired: Go for a soy sauce, ginger, and garlic marinade. Steam with chopped bok choy and serve with a sesame-chili dipping sauce.
Stuffing Surprise: Create a pocket in the turkey breast and fill it with your favorite stuffing mixture. Air Crisp for a delicious all-in-one meal.
Breakfast Twist: Swap turkey for boneless, skinless chicken breasts and season with herbs and spices for a flavorful breakfast or brunch option.

Remember: Adjust cooking times and temperatures slightly based on your chosen variations and the size of your turkey breast. Feel free to get creative and explore endless possibilities!

Pro Tips for Ninja Speedi Turkey Breast Perfection:

Temperature matters: Don’t rely solely on time! Always use a meat thermometer and cook the turkey breast to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety and optimal juiciness.
Pat it dry: Moisture is the enemy of crispy skin. Thoroughly pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking.
Season like a pro: Don’t be shy! Use generous amounts of your chosen seasoning blend for maximum flavor impact. Consider rubs, marinades, or even injecting for deeper penetration.
Fat is flavor: Drizzle some olive oil before cooking, especially for air crisping, to add moisture and boost flavor. Use an oil mister for a lighter touch.
Score that skin: For extra crispy skin, make shallow diagonal cuts across the skin without piercing the meat. This allows fat to render and crisp up beautifully.
Flip and crisp: If using the “Steam & Crisp” function, ensure you flip the turkey breast halfway through crisping for even browning.
Let it rest: Resist the urge to carve immediately! After cooking, let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender, moist meat.
Think beyond basic: Get creative with flavors! Use different spice blends, marinades, or even stuff the breast with your favorite stuffing for a flavor explosion.
Clean up breeze: Utilize the Speedi’s non-stick pot to your advantage. Most drippings and residue wipe away easily, making cleanup a breeze.
Master the leftover game: Shred leftover turkey for sandwiches, salads, tacos, or stir-fries. It’s the perfect way to extend your delicious creation!

With these pro tips in your arsenal, you’ll be a Ninja Speedi turkey breast master in no time! Go forth and conquer those cravings with perfectly cooked, flavorful turkey dishes every time.

Faq’s

What cooking method should I use? Both “Air Crisp” and “Steam & Crisp” deliver delicious results. Choose “Air Crisp” for juicy, tender turkey with no crispy skin, or “Steam & Crisp” for crispy skin and juicy interior.

How long does it take to cook a turkey breast in the Speedi? Cooking time depends on thickness and chosen method. A 2-pound breast usually takes 20-25 minutes for “Air Crisp” and 25-30 minutes for “Steam & Crisp”. Always check internal temperature (165°F) for safety.

Do I need to preheat the Speedi? Yes, preheat for 5 minutes regardless of the chosen function.

Should I cover the turkey breast while cooking? No, covering will prevent the skin from crisping.

Can I use a bone-in turkey breast? Not recommended. Bone-in breasts require longer cooking times and may not fit as well in the Speedi.

Do I need to add oil? A drizzle of olive oil helps with moisture and flavor, especially for “Air Crisp”. Use an oil mister for a lighter touch.

What seasonings can I use? The possibilities are endless! Experiment with your favorite herbs, spices, rubs, or marinades.

What is the safe internal temperature for cooked turkey? Always cook turkey to an internal temperature of 165°F, measured with a meat thermometer.

How do I get crispy skin? Pat the turkey dry thoroughly, season well, score the skin lightly, and use the “Steam & Crisp” function for the final crisping stage.

Can I reuse leftover cooking drippings? It’s not recommended due to potential fat content and possible flavor changes.

How do I clean the Speedi after cooking turkey? The non-stick pot makes cleaning easy. Wipe away any residue with a damp cloth or use warm soapy water. Never immerse the pot in water.

Can I cook other types of poultry in the Speedi? Yes! The Speedi is perfect for chicken breasts, thighs, and even whole chickens, following similar cooking principles and adjusting times as needed.
